Awesome Ivan, you totally nailed the style and the tone, however with the strat it just looks weird, You need gibson SG just for looks though, because the strat sounded awesome, how did you manage to get that fat chunky tone from a strat?

This is my attempt to capture some of that magic that AC/DC is all about. Rocking grooves, punchy bass lines, great instantly recognizable vocals and of course - guitars! :)

ACDC is mostly famous by it's vocals, but guitars play a very important part of it's sound as well. Humbucker pickups plugged into walls of Marshalls has become not only the trademark of this band, but a trademark of whole rock&roll!
Guitar riffs are catchy and mostly involve octave, fifth, and major third notes in them, as we will check out in the lesson.

This lesson is divided into 2 section. In the first one we will cover the rhythm part, consisting out of 3 nice riffs in the style of ACDC. In the second part we will do some solo work in the style of Angus Young.

If you have a Gearbox software, go online to Tone Library and choose some of the Angus's singature sounds, this is what I used for this lesson.
If you don't own this software, try some sort of combinations with Marshall drive, until you are satisfied with results.
